Artpark 'Wednesdays' begins tonight

"Coors Light [email protected]" kicks
off its 2011 season tonight with Umphrey's McGee. The band takes the stage at
6:30 p.m. (no opening act).

Since forming in the late '90s, the musically
muscular and relentlessly inventive Umphrey's McGee has cultivated an
impressive presence both live and in the studio. Lauded by critics and adored
by fans, the band continues to draw in new listeners with its singular style: virtuoso
playing and acrobatic tempo changes with rhythmic shifts complemented by
dazzling song craft and composition, memorable hooks, authentic guitar lines
and rock solid rhythms.

Now in its
second decade, Umphrey's McGee continues to wow fans globally. The band has
performed at U.S. festivals such as Bonnaroo, ROTHBURY, and Lollapalooza;
toured Europe multiple times; and performed at Japan's Fuji Rock Festival.

Umphrey's McGee
is also known for its innovative approach to distributing music and building
community. With the recent unveiling of Umphrey's McGee's all-new "Stew Art
Series" (aka "S2") - an interactive fan experience where audience
members "conduct" the band's live improvisations - Umphrey's McGee
continues to offer its fiercely loyal fan base the most innovative musical
experiences available.

Before its
latest studio recording, "Mantis," was released in January 2010, the group made
the album available for pre-order in an interesting way. Fans were offered
additional free bonus content the more "Mantis" pre-orders were received. Fans
"unlocked" levels of content by getting more of their friends to
pre-order the album. The idea was to give the fans incentive to help spread the
word about the album, and to offer a totally unique music experience.

As Umphrey's
McGee's sound evolves with every passing show, the live concerts sold on its
expansive music archive site, www.UMLive.net,
continue to be in high demand by its hungry fan base.
